5/366 Musk mallow

This Musk mallow (Malva moschata) must be the prettiest wildflower I’ve found still in bloom so far this year.

They can usually be found in dry places, like ‘chalk pastures, roadsides, churchyards and old quarries’, according to my Flora Botanica: this one was on a roadside verge next to Grangemoor Park, a former rubbish dump now park.
